Simon Grundt Straubinger
I am a data analyst with a special interest in data visualizations and a strong foundation in healthcare analytics. I have a solid working knowledge of R, SQL and various visualization tools such as QlikView and Shiny.
I enjoy every aspect of the data analysis proces: from gathering, wrangling and cleaning data to applying analytical techniques and finally digging out and communicating the insights with a product tailored to the end-user be it management, operating staff or the general public.
